what about production wise? i wouldnt think the quick 30-40 sec of shaking the jar would produce as much as running butane. i mean the more butane you run through it doesnt really matter because once its all extracted it just runs clear and evaporates eventually anyway. compared to the iso where you are shaking it for a period of time where the longer you shake, the
"dirtier" it becomes with extra plant material. it just seems like there is more wasted to me with iso. im willing to give it a go tho! def a hell of a lot easier:clap: ill post some pics when done

It depends on the quality of the bud/trim you use.

Stuff that is extremely frosty will give you a higher yield.

I got a good amount off a small batch of trim, and I dont shake it at all. Just a single rinse

anyone use air cool hoods while using co2?
if so how do you do it? a/c?
ive been using it with timing the exhaust and co2 but the heat is getting up there(90-95 canopy level):fire: so i recently changed to a 3cft blast(12x7x8) in the morning that starts 15 min before and goes for an hour with the exhaust fan off other fans on of course and the temps have been great 78-85. it was a suggestion someone made to me but im not so convinced yet that it would work the same.

i understand the quality thing i was more saying that if you used the same plant material and same amount i think butane would be more efficient at extracting. i think there would be more left behind with iso. so if you just rinse you break it up fine ? then just set it in filter and run iso over it? that def would cut back on plant material!:weed:

I am running CO2 and an air cooled hood, but I am using a Sentinel CHHC-4 environmental controller. It shuts off the intake and exhaust fans, when the temperature gets low enough, and turns on the CO2 to get it to the setpoint. Once the CO2 reaches the setpoint it turns off and keeps it right around the setpoint. When the temperature gets high enough, another setpoint, the unit turns off the CO2 and turns the fans back on. And so and and so forth.

so are you running a/c and a dehumidifier as well?

so the second plp weighed out to 22 grams dry. not bad for a 2 week veg. i think they need a month veg to really yield big. the skunks not so much. the first skunk will be dry enough for weight in a day or two ill post that. 2 dry plants 41 grams.

oh and i cut 3 plp x g.g. yesterday. still have 6 left to go. 2 plp x g.g. and 4 sasha x g.g. will have weights once dry. average is 20.5g per plant with two plants dry so far with a 2 or so week veg and a 7.5 week flower. the third plant i cut will be dry enough in 2 days to weigh.

Are you using your 6" fan right now?
If not, can I use it? I want to stack the Vizio box on top of the 2x2 so i run a veg chamber... Just need ventilation.

ran across this.

anyone have any experience with it or heard someone using it. right now i have a 600w and a 1000w and i was thinking i could leave a 600 on top and side light with two more 600 if i split the 1000.
any thoughts?:weed:
was thinking about it but decided not to. under powered bulbs cause u to lose a shit ton of lumens. with the splitter ur only pushing 500 watts to a 600 watt bulb. ur better off getting 2 600 ballasts if at all possible. more lumen output than u would get with under powered bulbs from just a 1000 ballast by far. oh and its recommended that u use their bulbs. heard something about if one bulb died the other was sacrificed with it. decided to just get a really big ass fuckin hood for the 1000 ballast instead. :)
